> You cannot apply yourself: a French university must nominate you to Campus France. The institutions' deadline is reported as 6 January 2027, so the time to contact them is now.

The **Eiffel Scholarship 2027** is open to Pakistani students for a **master's or PhD in France**, with a monthly allowance of **EUR 1,200 for a master's** and **EUR 2,100 for a PhD**, [ProPakistani reported](https://propakistani.pk/2026/10/11/pakistani-students-can-apply-for-masters-and-phd-eiffel-scholarships-in-france/) on Sunday 11 October 2026. At today's [euro rate of Rs 310.39](/data/eur-pkr), that is roughly **Rs 372,000 a month for a master's student** and **Rs 652,000 for a doctoral student**.

The programme is run by France's Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs and managed by **Campus France**.

## The one rule most people miss: you do not apply yourself

**Only a French university or school can put you forward.** It must first select or admit you, then send your file to Campus France, as [Campus France's own Eiffel page](https://www.campusfrance.org/en/eiffel-scholarship-program-of-excellence) states. So the real deadline for you is the one your chosen French institution sets internally, and that is usually well before the national one.

- **Institutions' deadline:** **6 January 2027**, according to ProPakistani. (For the 2026 round, Campus France's deadline was 8 January 2026.) Campus France has not yet published the 2027 calendar on its page, so confirm the date with your university.
- **Results:** expected the **week of 12 April 2027**, ProPakistani reported.

## Who can be nominated

- **Age:** up to **29 for a master's**, up to **35 for a PhD**, Campus France says.
- **Nationality:** international students, Pakistanis included. Students who already hold French nationality are not eligible.
- **Academics:** you must meet the admission requirements of the French institution and any extra rules of the programme.

## What it pays and for how long

| Level | Monthly allowance | Approx. in rupees | Funding period |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Master's, 1st year | EUR 1,200 | Rs 372,000 | up to 24 months |
| Master's, 2nd year entry | EUR 1,200 | Rs 372,000 | up to 12 months |
| Engineering degree | EUR 1,200 | Rs 372,000 | up to 36 months |
| PhD (joint supervision or co-tutelle) | EUR 2,100 | Rs 652,000 | 12 to 36 months |

**Tuition fees are not covered.** The scholarship may add travel support, insurance, help with housing and cultural activities, ProPakistani reported. The PhD strand is for joint supervision or dual-degree arrangements between a French institution and one abroad, such as a Pakistani university.

## How to go about it, step by step

1. **Shortlist French programmes** in your field and check their admission deadlines (many close in December or January).
2. **Write to the international relations or admissions office** of each one and ask whether it will nominate candidates for Eiffel 2027 and by when it needs your documents.
3. **Apply for admission** with transcripts, an English or French language certificate as the programme requires, a CV and a statement of purpose. Get your degrees attested by HEC first.
4. **For a PhD,** agree a supervisor in France and one in Pakistan before the university files.
5. **Keep copies** of everything you send; the university uploads the file to Campus France.

Check your grades conversion with our [CGPA calculator](/tools/education/cgpa-calculator) and estimate passport costs with the [passport fee calculator](/tools/government/passport-fee-calculator).
